This paper focuses on performance analyzing and dynamic modeling of the\ncurrent grid-tied fixed array 6.84kW solar photovoltaic system located at\nFlorida Atlantic University (FAU). A battery energy storage system is designed\nand applied to improve the systems stability and reliability. An overview of\nthe entire system and its PV module are presented. In sequel, the corresponding\nI-V and P-V curves are obtained using MATLAB-Simulink package. Actual data was\ncollected and utilized for the modeling and simulation of the system. In\naddition, a grid- connected PV/Battery system with Maximum Power Point Tracking\n(MPPT) controller is modeled to analyze the system performance that has been\nevaluated under two different test conditions: (1) PV power production is\nhigher than the load demand (2) PV generated power is less than required load.\nA battery system has also been sized to provide smoothing services to this\narray. The simulation results show the effective of the proposed method. This\nsystem can be implemented in developing countries with similar weather\nconditions to Florida.\n
